Actual Performance

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or performance:

    In the actual world—the painful kingdom of time and place—dwell care, and canker, and fear. With thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity, the rose of joy.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavour be so loved, and the performance so loathed?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
